Mine has a slight drone (but not too bad)around 2k rpms because my cat is gutted. But I've never heard another 6 cylinder sound as good as a GN.

Im with you guys. I want to do an exhaust on my EB but ill wait till i find something that sounds the way i like and that hasnt happened yet. Hopefully there will be some more options coming out sooner than later since the engine has been out for awhile now.

i kinda like the way the magnaflow sounds.. kinda quiet till you gun it.. even one review i read the owner said while cruisin you cant even hear it... also thought about making an aftermarket exhaust using magnaflow products.. have used them a bunch and completely satisfied especially with our turbo set up.

I was thinking about using the Dynomax VT (with an internal valve to stop the drone). A friend of mine (big into Buicks GN and GS400's...and the Lozano Bros-here in San Antonio) have used them on a Stage III GS and it works and sounds great on the V8...no drone.
I think a 3" Catback with the Dynomax VT might sound good and lessen any drone...we will see
